Comment on Water by vanessacruz12 https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/water/comment-page-1/#comment-116

I really think that dance can portray a story and could also replace words; although it really depends on the viewer and their experiences. we portray everything from our own point of view, from reading a dance or a book. We connect everything to our experiences and relate in different perspectives. I really liked the passion behind both the music and the dance.

Comment on In 10 years by vanessacruz12 https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/in-10-years/comment-page-1/#comment-115
Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:36:57 +0000http://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/?p=184#comment-115In my post I was trying to portray what society has come to create of us. People now only believe that being rich and obtaining the newest luxuries is what makes you happy. I include myself in that circle as well. I know I have fallen into materialistic things and obtaining power, when being close with my family is the most important thing. There are moments that have left great memories that don’t really depend on money. I agree with you there is the idea that money could make you happy, and yet so many rich people find themselves alone or have among themselves fake friendships.

You and everyone else were on point. Watching this makes me feel so empowered… just to feel my Filipino culture flow through my veins. I love it. Filipino cultural dancing makes me proud of my heritage and my culture. I’m extremely excited for PCN 2013!

Comment on My Greatest Fear by elzhan777 https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/my-greatest-fear/comment-page-1/#comment-112
Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:19:33 +0000http://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/?p=366#comment-112thats an interesting post. i had same fear.
failure, its a biggest fear of most of the people who i know. most of the scared of failure without even doing something. firstly people think of failure from the beginning of doing something, so basically they already programme themselves that its possible to fail. life is unpredictable thing, you cannot predict where and what is goint to happen. people scared of doing some things because afraid that they wont be able to succeed at it. dont be scare of anything, because even if you failure at something its going to give you a life lesson that will make you stronger and more experienced.
i failed in different things couple times, but i took lesson from it, so its easier for me right know to face reality with success and failure.

Comment on Water by greenztooth https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/water/comment-page-1/#comment-110
Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:27:23 +0000http://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/?p=565#comment-110It is beautiful how dance can relate to the natural elements around us. The movements you guys show are so fluid and give a clear depiction of water through dancing. Being a dancer myself I can fully understand the artistic movement involved with dancing. It is almost as if you have to imagine water flowing through each extremity to get the full effect. I almost feel as if I can pull a great sense of serenity from this video. Is there an underlying message? Beautiful dancing and awesome form guys. 🙂

Comment on Secrets we take to the grave by kendrakelsey https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/secrets-we-take-to-the-grave/comment-page-1/#comment-109
Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:35:21 +0000http://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/?p=461#comment-109unfortunately, I don’t have any big secret– I just wrote this as if I were someone who did! I just thought the idea of dying with a secret was really powerful and wanted to work off of that.

Comment on Unstoppable by katcaffiend https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/unstoppable/comment-page-1/#comment-108
Mon, 02 Jul 2012 07:11:17 +0000http://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/?p=515#comment-108I don’t condone racism, but I think there’s a difference between stereotypes and profiling. If I’m walking down the street and there’s a group of people smoking weed, yeah, I’m going to be potentially scared of them since they were dumb enough to smoke an illegal drug in a public place. Why are they smoking in the middle of the day (since that’s when I’d be walking down the street)? What else will they do that’s ill-advised if they feel they don’t have to comply with the law?

So forgive me if I cross the street to avoid the group of pot-heads when I’m walking solo and I’m only 5’3″, cus my Caucasian ass don’t feel like getting jumped or harassed by some morons who think they’re above the law and take no measures to be discreet.

If race is entered into this scenario, then the only factor it plays for me is their physicality. Usually black people are taller than me and bigger than me and stronger than me, so I really think I’d stand a chance if I were to get jumped. Asians–at least they’re closer to my height. Hispanics–my Spanish isn’t as good as it should be and I’d want to be able to eavesdrop in anticipation of something bad about to go down. [Enter other race here]–if they look intimidating then I don’t give a fuck about the color of their skin. I will cross the street if I feel like avoiding some stupid-ass-muthafuckin-punks if I fucking feel like it.

As for the government, I don’t think they know how to go about including minorities on a personal/cultural or a legislative level. Sure there are ignorant politicians and government officials, but I can’t believe that their ignorance and racism will prevail–it’s just too depressing. And even if the government is corrupt, we have the power to elect our own representatives; if we want change, then we have to make it happen, and for that you don’t even need an ideal candidate to get sufficient votes, you just need a good marketing scheme. I am a firm believer in media manipulation, and that goes both ways. Just beat ’em, by joining in their own set of game rules.
“Wag the Dog” with Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman lays it all out, a perfect template for how to manipulate a story and circumstances and total fabrication:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120885/

Comment on A Future That I See Is Very Possible by katcaffiend https://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/a-future-that-i-see-is-very-possible/comment-page-1/#comment-107
Mon, 02 Jul 2012 06:22:30 +0000http://thesummerspark.wordpress.com/?p=369#comment-107I endorse this idea on the condition that my life isn’t played to the same background track.

Also, I’m curious about the energy technology that would be used to generate all of these displays and functions on glass. Where would this technology be made? If we get to this point in technology do you think the whole world would use it, or would it just widen the technology gap and ensure that the impoverished never have an opportunity to rise to a higher class?

II. Got my engine revved up and ready to fight for whoever this girl was, is. Best part: “He swam back to the shore and walked home soaking wet. I was the car. I was full of mud and stuck. I had been that way for three years. 1095 days of liquid dirt. 26280 hours. 1,576,800 minutes lost. I left the next day.”

III. You made an ordinary day feel special.

Epilogue. Please write more short stories. I will read them and even buy them.

What was your thought process from that painting to each of those short story ideas? How did each story line come to you? What was your writing process?
